Sharing standardized data is critical, not only to meet U.S. FDA requirements but to also help enable the traceability and interoperability needed to do business efficiently with trading partners. In this session, hear about the tools and resources created by industry members, GS1 US, and FMI to support organizations as they work toward the regulatory requirements defined for January 20, 2026. Additionally, both FMI and GS1 US will be asking for the industry to identify and prioritize gaps in guidance and educational offerings the community needs.
